It was a nuisance, with a high failure rate. Recording to tape was kind of fun. Optical not as much.

"Put them in camps before they put us in camps" is probably the tactically smart if ethically questionable answer.
I would ignore Christmas entirely if I could.
I have family members who are really into it.
And the news always acts like the entire stupid consumer driven economy is riding on it. I actually don't care about that. But I bet if we did all choose to ignore it, they'd complain that we're tanking the economy on purpose. You can't win with trolls.
This is dark and funny at the same time. Bots, shouting into the void, in order to separate suckers from their advertising dollars.
He's better off. Reddit is a steaming pile and mods don't get paid.
I have multiple lemmy accounts, which kind of dilutes my efforts, maybe. I do try to post comments (and occasional new content). I think reddit beat me into a state of lurking and being afraid to participate very much, because a large percentage of redditors are know-it-all jerks just waiting to pounce on you for almost any reason.
Honestly since leaving reddit for lemmy, I'm also kind of enjoying not doom scrolling so much. I do like to stay on top of things like tech news, politics, sports, entertaininment, etc, and reddit was always my go-to for that stuff. So it's a mixed bag...I don't miss the jerks, I don't want to be addicted, but I do want to help lemmy thrive. It seems much nicer here (so far).
I created an inbox rule for these. The 3rd party phishing shame-and-train company my employer uses always has a certain domain in the email header (even though they always change the 'from' address). Has worked perfectly for over 6 months. I'm generally not dumb enough to click on them anyway. But anyone can have a bad day and/or get into a rush and make a mistake. And my boss is a sadistic prick who delights in making workers feel dumb. Yet I'm 100% sure he exempts himself from the phishing shit tests.
